Chapter 459 - 458: If You Can’t Tell the Real Long-armed Ape, Kill Them All
Demon Venerable Chong Lou’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He was not surprised by the appearance of the Long-armed Ape.
Of course, he wasn’t panicked either.
"Long-armed Ape, possessing the ability to seize the sun and moon, shrink mountains, manipulate creation and transformation, with innate combat strength, indeed has commendable aspects."
"But..."
Demon Venerable Chong Lou shook his head, glanced at Lin Heng: "Even someone like him, who can withstand the Quasi-Saint Power with his Ancestral Immortal Realm, I do not consider him a threat."
"What can you do against me?"
He stood with his hands behind his back, a teasing smile on his lips.
The whole atmosphere around him was calm and carefree.
The Long-armed Ape was unfazed, walking towards Lin Heng while loudly speaking:
"The Celestial Court Demon Ancestor, though unwilling to intervene personally."
"Before leaving, also imparted me a Dharma Gate."
"I may not be able to kill you, but imprisoning you for half a month is enough!"
As his voice fell.
He twisted his fingers into a mudra, chanting softly.
A black stone tablet was conjured.
This tablet bore a strong resemblance to the one used to open the Outer Demon Race’s entrance.
Inscribed with mysterious runes.
Transformed into reality.
In the chaos, it dazzled the eyes.
Demon Venerable Chong Lou’s expression grew slightly serious, and Lin Heng watched the stone tablet with curiosity.
Yet at that very moment.
A demon blade, cold and gleaming, suddenly appeared in the Long-armed Ape’s hand.
His expression cold as he thrust it fiercely at Lin Heng’s back.
"Watch out!"
From the roaring river of blood below, came a sudden exclamation.
Lin Heng’s gaze turned.
It was no one else?
It was indeed the Long-armed Ape trapped in the river of blood.
His eyes turned cold as the already prepared Taiji Diagram unfolded behind him.
The demon blade thrust by the Long-armed Ape behind him vanished like a stone sinking into the sea.
Entangled by the Taiji Diagram, it dissolved into nothingness under the grinding Chaos Qi.
"Damn it!"
The Long-armed Ape’s expression slightly shifted, and with a bang, turned into green smoke, disappearing without a trace.
"Are you alright?"
The Long-armed Ape in the river of blood let out a sigh of relief seeing this.
"I’m fine."
"Why are you there?"
Lin Heng frowned and asked.
While concerned for the Long-armed Ape trapped in the river of blood, he was also wary of the Demon Venerable Chong Lou in the mist ahead.
"I just entered and fell into an illusion, caught off-guard, and was attacked by a ’you’, thus fell into the river."
"There are demon chains beneath the river, they entangled me, and I can’t break free."
The Long-armed Ape loudly explained, his face slightly pale, showing signs of weakness.
"Attacked by me?"
Hearing this, Lin Heng couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.
This Outer Demon Land is indeed bizarre.
Even with the Long-armed Ape treating it so gravely, he fell into a trap upon entry.
"I’ll save you."
Lin Heng said, leaping down the massive rib bones, shooting towards the river of blood.
As he approached, he reached out a hand.
Aiming to pull the Long-armed Ape up.
Yet just as he was about to act, a voice suddenly rang from above.
"Don’t, he’s fake!"
This voice, like a thunderbolt, made Lin Heng’s Divine Soul tremble.
He frowned and looked up.
Incredibly, at the skull of this giant corpse, another Long-armed Ape appeared.
He was bound by a bizarre spider web, unable to move.
Lin Heng’s expression turned slightly odd.
But he heard the Long-armed Ape in the river of blood say: "Pay him no heed, he’s the one who attacked you earlier."
Before Lin Heng could speak.
The Long-armed Ape at the skull urgently said: "He’s the fake one, he’s transformed from the bloodline of this giant demon, if you come into contact with him, you’ll be drawn into the bloodline as nourishment."
The Long-armed Ape in the river of blood ignored this, merely urging Lin Heng:
"Keep a clear mind, don’t be misled by appearances."
"Rescue me, I’ll deal with Demon Venerable Chong Lou!"
Listening to this, Lin Heng couldn’t help but glance up at Demon Venerable Chong Lou in the mist, who still stood with his hands behind his back, watching with a teasing look.
As if enjoying a grand show.
"Save me!"
"Save me."
"Don’t believe him, I’m the real one."
"That’s a demon trick, that’s an illusion!"
Both the Long-armed Ape at the skull and in the river of blood were shouting.
The cacophony was noisy and chaotic.
Like a swarm of flies.
"Have you made your choice?"
From the mist, Demon Venerable Chong Lou spoke with a smile.
Lin Heng took a deep breath, without hesitation, punched towards the river of blood.
The water was scorching hot, rolling crimson.
Raging waves.
The Long-armed Ape below was instantly shattered into nothingness.
Demon Venerable Chong Lou’s eyes narrowed slightly: "How did you discern he was fake?"
Lin Heng responded expressionlessly: "He said to rescue him, then deal with you."
"That’s it?"
"What’s wrong with that?" Demon Venerable Chong Lou was puzzled.
"It’s simple." Lin Heng said: "Because I think you’re also fake."
"Really?" Demon Venerable Chong Lou chuckled, saying no more.
At this moment.
The Long-armed Ape trapped at the skull loudly stated:
"Enough, this place is strange, help me escape, and let’s leave quickly."
Lin Heng glanced at him coldly, brought his fingers together, and slashed upwards.
With a boom.
That Long-armed Ape was also cut into nothingness on the spot.
Demon Venerable Chong Lou saw this and his gaze turned cold.
"So, in your eyes, you see everything here as illusions?" he said, his tone indifferent.
However, Lin Heng shook his head.
"Actually, I’m not sure either."
"I can’t tell."
"But I think, the Long-armed Ape likely wouldn’t need me to save him."
He indeed couldn’t tell the reality here.
Even when his eyes shone with Purple Qi.
He could only be sure.
Someone as familiar with the dangers here as the Long-armed Ape shouldn’t have fallen to the point of needing my help so soon after entering.
"Relying on a gut feeling like this is unreliable, but I must admit, you’re correct."
"The Long-armed Ape doesn’t need your rescue."
"However, there’s one thing you got wrong."
"Oh?" Lin Heng’s expression was calm: "What might that be?"
Demon Venerable Chong Lou’s lips curled: "I’m real."
With those words.
His body erupted with overwhelming black Qi.
The black Qi condensed, forming a giant demon, wielding a Heaven-Reaching bone, and with a thunderous crash, it smashed down at Lin Heng.
"This?"
The terrifying Quasi-Saint aura made Lin Heng’s face change with shock.
He furrowed his brow, channeling Chaos Qi around his palms, like stirring two vast oceans, pushing back against the Heaven-Reaching bone.
The two forces clashed.
The remains of the giant began to tremble.
The blood waters roiled.
Bone columns shattered.
Phosphorescent flames flickered in large patches, layer upon layer of ashes scattered.
It seemed as if the howls of countless resentful spirits echoed around.
The Heaven-Reaching bone was held back.
Lin Heng stood firm, glaring intently at Demon Venerable Chong Lou.
Demon Venerable Chong Lou looked as if he’d witnessed something incredibly rare, repeatedly exclaiming:
"Didn’t expect, you could actually withstand the Quasi-Saint Power?"
"Seems that day, it wasn’t Ksitigarbha making your reputation!"
Lin Heng said nothing, continuing to glare unwaveringly at Demon Venerable Chong Lou.
Demon Venerable Chong Lou, seeing this, coldly said:
"Enough, I grow weary of sparring with you, let me show you, the true Quasi-Saint!"
His words fell.
The sky above tore apart, just like back in the Immortal Court days.
A colossal demon hand descended from the heavens.
Yet this time, Lin Heng neither dodged nor evaded, even closing his eyes.
